Be it lrnown that l, @sean Sorinicirrnn, a citizen of the United States., residing,l at Hamilton, in the county ot Butler and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful lmprovements in Siicing lachines, oil' which the following is a Specification.

Thisapplication in in part a. division oi? my application, Serial 336, tiled lll'arch 22.y i921, 'for ,slicing macliine:-.

rl`he invention has tor an object 'to eilect improvements in .meat and reglI able elicera, in which a hollow cylindrical rotating/j man drel carrying` blades opera kover .lots in the mandrel beneath feed ho ployed. lt is an especi l aini to enect economies in the manufactY "c or Such an f applt ance. Another important te enalle the ready niaintenance, adjustment and pair of the device. lt is an especial pur-- posel ot the invention to provide a novel,

ellicient and cleap cutter adjuf ,nt whereby 'various thickn he produced. ,idditional tages and features et invent' 'from the arrangement and co .1 appear mation or l 1arly described. ln the drawin` Figure i is an eleva final embodiment el? my invention,

rot wood,y and a knob 2l at the upper 'side by which it .may he manipulated. y The hopper is termed with a rolledrim at the upper edge hy which it is reinforced. y

The opening' 18 in the lower side et' the casing;- perinits the escape of juices readily from' thelrniveg and rhalree` it possiblel to collectlthe. juice separately from the solid parte of the product. rl`he casing ie so located on the frame that when clamped upon a table, aS shown in `Figu yl, a dish niay` loe readily Set upon the tabletop extending under the opening;y i8; rlhe 'plate 15 is formed with a hearing; sleeve 22 receiving; revoluhly ther-stud Shaft 23 oi a vcylindricnl hollow mandrel 24C, having; in one 'forni an inte.d Tal closedhead portion 25 at the inner. end from whichthesheft22 ie extended.

rlhe head is spaced from theplate hy suitable bosses on the plate or head.r

@ne eide of the shaft 23 ie gtlattened to receive the Set Screw 2S in the bored huh of a crank 29 snugly-fitted onthe Shaft and' having; handle 30, by which the device .is operated. rlhe mandrel is formed with a plurality oi diagonal slots 3l. which 'atop short of the outer endo'l' the mandrel,` hut extend fully to the head at their inner g ende. The mandrel ie provided witha eircumheci-"ihingperipheral groove 32, intermediatelv et the thickness et the head 25, f

the forward side of which 2groove ie'inclined toward the open end of the mandrel.

Snug'ly fitted upon the mandrel and revolnhle thereon, there is sheet metal slicing;r cylinder 33, extending` completely over lthe mandrel, lying' flush with the hack face ot the head v25. yl`he cylinder han` its `rear yend portion-pressed into the yprotrae- 32 snugly, so that the cylinder will 1ice-retained upon the mandrel in proper alinfment therewith, rlhe inwardly l The forward endet the cutter f alined with respective clots in the mandrel, i and are ordinarily termed oi' a. slightly lees width circumterentially,#than the Slots 8l orn the'rnandrel. The cutter ie'itorniediwith a short slot'? at one point.v intermediately et two slots 36, and cuetomarilyfclose to thev lis adjusted with the cutting` edOeC' .teri'ed from adj listino- .when iii outer end ofl the cutteig througgfh which is engaged a binding screw l() havingl threaded 'engagement in the body of the mandrel 2d.

when a product to be sliced` is introduced. .into the hopper and pressed against lthe cut-r ter while being rotated, tliecutting` edges 39 will engage the stock being` ted 'through the hopper, and by reasonol' the lieveling of the edges toward the inner side, the stock will be drawn downwardly until it engages the side of the slot 31 opposed to the cutting edge7 which Will determine the thickness of the slice cut, or, in case the cutter .cui i'ully spaced from the opposed edges oit the slot Se, the opposed edges in the cutter would then be positioned over thecorrespondin' edges oil .the slots in the mandrel, and tunction similarly. `'llhe slots in the cutter are prel eralily made narrower 'than the slots in the man "'eli in order that the users will be de` the cuttingh edges oit the cutter so 'far baclrthat they will come tee close 'to the corresponifinp; edges ol.i the slots. in the mandrel, which would cause the sliced steckte strike abruptly against the sides or the slots in the mandrel, or if the cutter were still further back would all.

rllie slot 37 is of such length and so poe sitioned that the maximum rearuf'ard' adi ustment of `the cutter will still leave the cutting` edges 39 in advance of the adjacent correspending` edges of the slots in theinain'lrel ln Figures it and there shown a inediprevent slicing; at

the structure oi3 the mandrel. 'ln this forni theinandrel is formed inv two parts. nanielj.'Y the head or disc 25a and the mandrel proper 25h, the inner end ot which abuts the lim-:l assen'ibled relation. llie head-135e is loaned with a circuiiiisci" d il).

nto this groove there n' helda one end por on of tl cutting sleeve llll shown. The nia u is rerolubly held Within this sleeve, and is proifided close, to its outer ige with l i i...

yinivardly projected lugs or linger holdsA :Forturning,1 thereof to vary the thickness ol.E

the slice cut. A circumferential slot 3T 'is 'formed in the sleeve, as previously described, and serving the same purpose.

ln adjustingvthe cutting blade of this -torio of mandrel, the sleeve ll being heldy securelj.,Y in the groove l0 of the head 25au the set screw 38 is loosened and the mandrel 25h tightened and tlieseveral parts thus held together, to be rotated as a single unit. Other means may be 'found desirable for holding` the cutter blade upon the head 25a, and in Fig. 5, I have shown the blade held thereto by means oit a screw 43.

What is claimed :ff f l., ln a slicing' machine oi thecharacter described, a cylindrical mandrel having diagonal slots therein and' a cylindrical vslicing' cutter reroluble upon the mandrel, similarly slotted and having the advancingedges of said slots sharpened, and means to hx the slicing cylinder adjustably upon the inandrel. l l
